Letters Patent No. 91,013, dated June 8, 1869.

IMPROVEMENT IN FEED-Box.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Patent and making part Of the flame- Hove- To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOSEPH HAWsn, of Wolcott, in the county of Lamoille, and Sta-te of Vermont, have invented certain new and usefulImprovements in Feed- Boxes; and I do hereby declare that the followingv is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, reference bein g had to t-he accompanying drawings, and to the letters of reference marked thereon, which form a part of this specification, and in which- Figure l represents a longitudinal section of my feed-box; and

FigureQ, a plan .view of the same.

Similar letters indicate like parts in both figures.

The nature of my invention consists in the employment of.a pivoted feed box, constructed as hereinafter specied.

To enable others skilled in the art to which my invention appertains, to make and use the saine, I will now describeits construction and operation.

In the accompanying drawingsr A represents an ordinary box, to contain the feed,

the forward end being formed with an' opening, b, into which is pivoted the feed-box B.

d is a but-ton, scoured to the front end of the box A, so as tov retain the feedbox in propel' position, when ready for feeding.

It will be observed, that a feed-box constructed in this manner is always kept dry, as it can be easily turned over in wet weather, thereby preventing the rain from entering the inside of the feed-box.

Having thus described my inventionl/Vhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is---vy rlhe box A, provided with receptacles t t, and pivj oted feed-box B, arranged to operate substantially in the manner and for the purpose described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own, I atlix my signature, in presence of two witnesses.
